据报道，这位丑闻缠身的州总检察长在一次私人活动上表示：“我无法控制信息或我们的行动。”由唐纳德·特朗普挑选作为参议院席位共和党候选人的得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿在私下承认，他的竞选活动正受到华盛顿特区外部势力的控制。
‘I don’t control message or what we’re doing,’ scandal- hit state attorney general reportedly says at private event Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general chosen by Donald Trump to run as the Republican candidate for a Senate seat, admitted in private that his campaign was being controlled by outside forces in Washington DC.
帕克斯顿目前正与进步派民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科展开激烈的竞选角逐。他在9月份的一次筹款活动上告诉与会者，由于外部影响，他从未感到对自己的竞选活动如此缺乏控制。
Paxton, who is locked in a competitive race with the progressive Democrat James Talarico, told people at a fundraising event in September that he had never felt such little control over his campaign because of outside influence.
